Flax & Twine Daytime Linen

Flax & Twine Daytime Linen is now available in the shop! I’m so excited to share my new yarn line with you. DK weight linen is so hard to find. I have hunted and hunted for the perfect linen yarn and I finally found it. I have loved using this yarn in so many different projects and it continues to inspire me! This is a great yarn for knitting, crochet and weaving and I absolutely adore it. I think you will too!

Flax & Twine Daytime Linen has a beautiful sheen. It’s light reflective so it has a beautiful brightness to it. Also, it’s refined, but still has a wonderful natural look. It is just right for me and you, too! Daytime Linen comes in two colors – Natural and Ecru. The natural is a boiled, dew-ret, long fiber flax (9.5/8). The ecru has been bleached. I can’t pick a favorite.

I’ve already used a DK Weight Linen for the Giant Crocheted Snowflake and the Woven Heart Jewelry Dish. You can also use it to make the Around Town Tote from Weaving Within Reach.

With summer only a few months away, I envision knitting or crocheting a cute summer top. Making warmer weather garments is one of the best uses of linen! I have so many ideas for new woven projects using this linen, too. I’ll definitely share them with you as I make them.

Finally, I love pairing linen with other fibers to play with texture. Working with linen makes me so happy! It’s such a versatile fiber.

IN THE SHOP: 50 & 120 yard balls of Daytime Linen

Flax & Twine Daytime Linen is made in Egypt and is available in 50 yard or 120 yard skeins. It gets more and more flexible as you work with it and as you wear it. Plus it’s easy to care for! Hand or machine wash it gently in a lingerie bag with cool water and gentle soap. Lay it flat to dry.

What are your favorite things to make with linen yarn? I can’t wait to see what you make with Daytime Linen!
